The bastards!  I'd skip the convenience factor and hike inside to pay, 
dockyard.  That's $100 that you can't use and they can; not that a lot of 
interest is going to accumulate on $100 over a week, but if everybody did 
that it sure would be a nice amount for PC to have to play with.

The more I think about it, why would they "round up" to $100 on a $39 
purchase?  It's not like the price you paid is going to suddenly increase or 
something.

That would piss me off enough to change banks again.
